St. Louis Missouri Temple, Religious temple in St. Louis, United States.
The St. Louis Missouri Temple is a modern religious building belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located in the Chesterfield area of Missouri. It has white exterior walls, a symmetrical layout, and a single central spire rising above the main entrance.
The building was dedicated in 1997 as the 121st temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide. It was part of a broader period of growth during which the church opened new facilities across the American Midwest.
The temple serves members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a place for ceremonies such as weddings and baptisms that hold deep personal meaning. Its white exterior and central spire make it easy to recognize from the surrounding area of Chesterfield.
The temple is open only to members of the church who hold a valid recommend, so general visitors cannot enter on a regular basis. Occasional open house events allow the public inside, and it is worth checking ahead to find out if one is planned.
Although the temple carries the St. Louis name, it is actually located in Chesterfield, a suburb to the west of the city. During construction, the design team paid close attention to how natural light would enter the interior spaces, which is a recurring concern in temples of this denomination.
